  • J’ai bossé sur un Lenovo Thinkpad T480 14 pouces pendant environ 4 ans. Les Thinkpad c’est une question de goût, mais aujourd’hui encore je trouve que ses 14 pouces étaient un équilibre presque-parfait entre la compacité d’un 13" et la « surface de travail » d’un 15".

    J’ajouterai que l’expérience avec Linux dessus était vraiment top, 100% du matériel était reconnu et fonctionnait etc.

    J’avais pu opter à l’achat pour une batterie amovible surdimensionnée (72Ah) qui, couplée à la batterie intérieure fixe (~24Ah) me donnait presque 2 journées de 8h d’autonomie.




  • Political violence has absolutely no place in a healthy society

    But we aren’t in a healthy society. If anything, this shooting is proof of it. This isn’t an excuse. This is a claim that your arguments will fall on deaf ears.

    I’m not cheering this (I would go as far as saying that I hate what happened), but I don’t think people who have/are doing so, are displaying abject character or intellectual dishonesty. I think they are misreading the current political context, and I think nothing good will come of this.

    Trump has caused unknowable deaths from the policies put into place during his presidency, and with Project 2025 would (will?) cause even more.

    Pacifism becomes extremism when it cares more about policing and shaming those who vent their frustration at the current state of things. “missed the exit ramp to utopia” is a hell of a way to convince people to listen to what you have to say with an open mind.

    Political violence has been happening for years, and this is what gets us a mod post ? I would venture that I am just as disappointed in my fellow lemmings as you are, but frankly, this feels almost as tone-deaf and unhelpful as those calling for blood.

    Now is the time for constructive advice. Bandying about “extremism” helps no cause but that of inaction.

    You want a better society? Go outside and organize. Help people feel prepared for their future. Leave those calling for blood on an online forum to be picked up by the feds and law enforcement. Or talk to people like you care about them, not picking up after the mess they will make.

    People are dying of hunger, of lack of shelter, of preventable diseases, of working 3 jobs without breaking even, and they just saw one of the rich fucks that spent 4 years making their lives worse dodge death and supercharge his followers. Now you expect them to calm down because someone online invokes “rational, independent thinkers”, after preemptively accusing them of downvoting a post that they have yet to read.

    Shooting Trump is not how we get through this. Making this post with this tone is not how we get through this, either. I don’t have the answers beyond “find a better way to get your point across or you will just push away those you are trying to reach”. Hopefully I have not, myself, fallen into the same trap with this comment.




  • In my experience which instance you’re on (and, as a result, which instances populate your feed) heavily influences how much transmedicalism (and other bigotries) you encounter.

    From what I see on your profile page, you mostly interact with lemmy.world communities. That’s the biggest instance, that received the largest influx of reddit-quitters, notably.

    In case you haven’t encountered them, you might want to take a look at some of the communities hosted on lemmy.blahaj.zone.
